PROFIT PLUS (Plan No. 188)

This is a unit linked Endowment plan where under premium payment is either single or limited to 3, 4 or 5 years. The policyholder can choose the level of cover within the limits, which will depend on the policy term chosen, amount of premium payable and whether premium is payable one time or regularly during the premium paying term. The allocated premium will be utilized to purchase units as per the selected fund type. The Policyholder’s Fund Value will be subject to deduction of charges mentioned in para 3 of this circular. Units will be allotted and cancelled based on the Net Asset Value (NAV) of the respective fund applicable to the date of allotment / cancellation. There is no Bid-Offer spread (both the Bid price and Offer price of units will be equal to the NAV). The NAV will be computed on daily basis and will be based on the investment performance, Fund Management Charges (FMC) and whether fund is expanding or contracting under each fund type. Other details of this plan are as follows.

2. INVESTMENT FUND TYPES:The premiums allocated to purchase units will be invested according to the investment pattern prescribed for different fund types. The types of fund and their investment pattern are as under:

Appropriation price (when fund is expanding):Market value of investments held by the fund plus the expenses incurred in the purchase of the assets plus the value of any current assets plus any accrued income net of fund management charges less the value of any current liabilities less provisions, if any divided by the number of units existing at the valuation date (before any new units are allocated).

Expropriation price (when fund is contracting):Market value of investments held by the fund less the expenses incurred in the sale of the assets plus the value of any current assets plus any accrued income net of fund management charges less the value of any current liabilities less provisions, if any divided by the number of units existing at the valuation date (before any units are redeemed).
